[Efficiency of myocardial infarction (author's transl)].
During inpatient cardiological rehabilitation following myocardial infarction, 120 patients were examined by means of a written enquiry on the subjective appreciation of changes in the quality of their lives. The following picture emerged: cardiac patients experience a distinct deterioration in the quality of their lives as a result of the disease. The reactions from the social environment are judged by the patients vaguely and without uniformity. Satisfaction with the overall medical care on the other hand is relatively high. Altogether, 42% of the patients assess their present quality of life as very good to good, 30% as moderate to poor and 15% as bad to very bad. 13% could not give any assessment. A positive psychic basic attitude was given by about 75%.
